you cannot get this done before the election, but after the election, and the psychological impact of seeing controlled change as a result of the lame- duck period tom daschle could not get anything done. bill frist, we are wiped out, we will pass a resolution and go home. there is nothing he could do about it. so the question is, what is the psychology of this election going to do to the best laid plans of harry reid and speaker boehner and the president? i don't think any of whom expected what you just described. the great surprise is that there was no surprise. i don't expect this lame-duck to do very much worthwhile. i think they are going to pass a continuing resolution. they do have the fiscal cliffs that they have to deal with, and there will be a calibration of who gets hurt the most if we allow the economy to go over the cliff. where do we blame? there is a lot of calculation going on right now at leadership levels in both houses, in both parties, with the white house heaving a huge sigh of relief that the poles were all right, but now we are stuck with this for four more yea

the election is over. the people of this country have spoken and said loudly and clearly that they want us to work together, to create jobs and fix our economy. i agree with the economists who say that the threat of a fiscal cliff like the need to immediately reduce the deficit is being overblown and it's done like the debt ceiling debacle, to create a do or die situation where the hope is that democrats would agree to programs that would lose jobs. we cannot agree to it. we're being asked to cut the deficit by $4 trillion over 10 years, cuts and caps are projected to cut that deficit by $1.7 trillion. that leaves $2.3 trillion. if we allow the growth in the economy to continue, even at present slow pace, that can help reduce the need for those level of cuts even more. the poor and the middle class are already doing their part through the cuts that are already in place. now it's time for everyone else to do theirs. the rest of the deficit reduction must come primarily from eliminating tax cuts for the weal

that obviously, and congressional elections and senate elections. so that has some important dimensionality to this. and the last thing i would say is we really have kind of three problems right now. we have the short run fiscal cliff, the medium term need to consolidate the budget, all of simpson-bowles, and these flow into one another, and the long run, entitlement cost crisis, which is part of the medium term but it's growing progressively worse. and the side are going to jockey for a while about advantage in trying to get their terms and all of those and i think it's going to be harder to get the fiscal cliff dealt with before -- in a lame duck, than some people propose -- suppose because of. that i hope i'm wrong. but that's a big concern. >> one of the things i used to say to tom daschle when he was the democratic leader and i was republican leader, tom, if we dt right thing there will be political benefit for both of us. and that's what happened. when we made these tough agreements. quite often it benefited us, the republicans, and then in 20
